Looking for feedback. About to add 20x10 wheels with -24 offset on toyo rt. No fender flares

Are you guys experience paint chips from rocks? When it rains can you see out of your mirrors or does the spray jack up your view?

Just be careful leaving gravel to let the tires clear out by weaving slowly. Rain is a non-factor but I did install OEM flares since my tires are a true 13” section width.

Also, wipe your window/seal clean before sliding it down as dirt/small pebbles will accumulate between the seal and potentially leave a scratch.

22x10 -24 offset on 33/12.5/22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. No chips no issues that I’ve noticed. Just had major rain in the DFW yesterday and I’m blind ass **** but had no issues seeing out my mirrors.

Fender flares and PPF on the lower panels will help with your rock chip problem.

I second the window seals on the outside, I clean mine once a month, don't have a -24 offset but I do use 1.5 wheel spacers. I bought a touch up pen from Amazon for my paint color for any rocks that do come up and make a chip, really only one small chip in the bed lower panel. (2 years) I will say without flares not sure where you are out of you will get salt spray like crazy.

No issues from rain blocking view though!
